A self-styled “Red Light Robin Hood” disabled traffic cameras on Long Island by using a pole to point their prying lenses away from intersections — and even posted a video of himself doing it.

“You only need a pair of balls and a painter’s extension rod,” Stephen Ruth, 42, of Centereach, said on video on his Facebook page.

“I’m gonna show you how easy this is to take the power back. It doesn’t take more than a minute to do this, and the satisfaction is huge.”

Ruth, who said he had been caught several times for not stopping long enough at red lights before making right turns, is then seen pushing up at a camera with the pole.

“I just saved people about $10,000 today with this camera,” he boasted. “This is government taking advantage, and it’s going to stop!”

Suffolk County cops, who received tips about the stunt in Ronkonkoma, arrested Ruth at his Stewart Circle home at about 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

He defended his actions on Facebook.

“To all the people thinking, ‘Why would he do that? Didn’t he think he was going to get arrested?’ Of course I knew I would be arrested,” he wrote. “I did it for the people who come back from war and get abused by these cameras.

“I did it because senior citizens are getting these, the same ones that went to war for us.”

Several people praised him on Facebook, where the video has received more than 230,000 views.

“Haha !!!!! Love u Kidd,” one wrote.

“Laughing my ass off. Hahaha!!! That is one of the most beautiful videos I have seen in a long while,” another wrote. “I will gift you a ski mask on Christmas you MADMAN!!!”

Ruth tampered with a camera on Ocean Avenue and the Long Island Expressway South Service Road on Aug. 21 and Aug. 24, cops said. On Tuesday, he allegedly tampered with two cameras at Hawkins Avenue and the Long Island South Service Road.

He was charged with four counts of third-degree criminal tampering and four counts of second-degree obstruction of governmental administration — both misdemeanors.

He was released on bail pending his Oct. 27 arraignment.

Drivers who go through red lights face fines of $80 in Suffolk County.
